LYNN HAVEN — The Florida Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting to discuss the expansion of State 390 on Tuesday.
The section of the expansion in Lynn Haven should be the most invasive of any part of the project, which starts at 23rd Street in Panama City. The right of way necessary to expand the road from two lanes to six would require the demolition of residences and businesses on the southbound section of the street from State 77 to Jenks Avenue. FDOT is in the process of acquiring property in all sections of the project, although the Lynn Haven part is not scheduled until 2018.
Included in the project will be buffered bicycle lanes, water quality and treatment facilities and a closed drainage system. A new pedestrian overpass will be constructed at Mowat Middle School. Modifications will be necessary for existing signal signals and a new signal will be required at the intersection of 14th Street.
The meeting will be from 5 to 6 p.m. at Emerald Coast Fellowship Church Fellowship Hall, 4102 West S.R. 390, Lynn Haven.
